Gerry leaned forward, resting his hands on his knees, and pulled out his phone.

“What is Alicia into these days? Cooking can be exhausting.

Caden found himself momentarily speechless.

“What’s going on? She didn’t answer,” he remarked.

Caden replied, “She’s been a bit down lately.

“What’s troubling her?” Gerry asked.

“She usually has such a good temper.
